the_o time_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n command_v in_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o ceremony_n &_o a_o jewsh_n ceremony_n etc._n etc._n now_o from_o their_o own_o doctrine_n i_o argue_v against_o they_o thus_o if_o the_o command_v time_n in_o the_o four_o com._n be_v a_o circumstance_n and_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n and_o abolish_v then_o very_o foolish_o do_v they_o that_o will_v run_v to_o the_o

this_o i_o deny_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o sabbath_n the_o weekly_a seven_o day_n sabbath_n &_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n now_o this_o their_o text_n may_v be_v understod_a of_o the_o annual_a

have_v argue_v only_o against_o the_o yearly_a ceremonial_a sabbath_n the_o which_o no_o man_n will_v defend_v for_o this_o purpose_n therefore_o note_v these_o thing_n 1._o it_o be_v very_o

probable_a that_o in_o this_o long_a and_o large_a discourse_n of_o sabbath_n moses_n speak_v of_o ij_o sort_n of_o sabbath_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o exod._n 31.13.14_o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n in_o exod._n 31.15.16.17_o some_o light_n be_v add_v hereunto_o if_o we_o do_v but_o observe_v moses_n for_o he_o use_v often_o in_o speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n to_o mention_v both_o kind_n before_o he_o have_v do_v that_o be_v both_o the_o anniversary_n sabbath_n and_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o exod._n 23.12.14.15.16_o and_o in_o exod._n 34.21.22.23_o and_o in_o levit._n 23.3.4.24.32.38.39_o a_o second_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v moses_n in_o charge_n to_o build_v the_o tabernacle_n exod._n 25.8.9_o the_o make_v whereof_o will_v cost_v great_a &_o long_a labour_n now_o lest_o the_o people_n shall_v think_v that_o because_o the_o work_n about_o this_o tabernacle_n be_v a_o holy_a work_n perteyn_a unto_o god_n for_o his_o service_n and_o worship_n that_o therefore_o they_o may_v put_v no_o difference_n of_o day_n whilst_o they_o be_v in_o this_o work_n but_o that_o they_o may_v work_v upon_o the_o sabbath_n also_o whither_o weekly_a sabbath_n or_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o on_o the_o 6_o work_a day_n to_o prevent_v this_o notwithstanding_o say_v the_o lord_n my_o sabbath_n you_o shall_v keep_v etc._n etc._n exod._n 31.13_o etc._n etc._n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v albeit_o i_o will_v that_o you_o make_v i_o a_o tabernacle_n etc._n etc._n yet_o i_o will_v not_o that_o you_o work_v about_o it_o on_o my_o sabbath_n day_n now_o because_o the_o people_n be_v as_o prone_a upon_o this_o occasion_n of_o build_v the_o tabernacle_n to_o work_v upon_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n when_o their_o turn_n come_v as_o upon_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v for_o we_o to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v as_o well_o make_v provision_n here_o for_o his_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o for_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n and_o that_o therefore_o in_o this_o text_n exod._n 31._o moses_n speak_v of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n as_o in_o v._o 13.14_o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n as_o in_o v._o 15.16.17_o that_o so_o the_o people_n appoint_v to_o work_v about_o the_o tabcrnacle_n as_o bezaleel_n and_o aboliab_n and_o the_o rest_n they_o may_v not_o work_v either_o upon_o the_o yearly_a or_o weekly_a sabbath_n but_o be_v all_o these_o 5_o verse_n spend_v only_o about_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n as_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n only_o then_o have_v not_o god_n make_v provision_n here_o for_o his_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o can_v be_v lik_o a_o three_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o in_o these_o few_o verse_n v._n 13.14.15.16.17_o there_o be_v threaten_v the_o punishment_n of_o death_n to_o those_o that_o do_v any_o work_n on_o the_o sabbath_n two_o several_a time_n &_o in_o two_o several_a verse_n as_o in_o v._o 14._o whosoever_o work_v therein_o the_o same_o person_n shall_v be_v cut_v of_o from_o his_o people_n and_o in_o v._o 15._o whosoever_o do_v any_o work_n in_o the_o sabbath_n day_n shall_v die_v the_o death_n now_o it_o be_v not_o lik_o that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o punishment_n shall_v be_v repeat_v and_o twice_o together_o threaten_v for_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n day_n and_o therefore_o to_o avoid_v a_o tautology_n and_o needless_a repetition_n it_o be_v most_o likly_a that_o here_o moses_n speak_v of_o two_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 13._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n to_o the_o transgressoure_n of_o they_o in_o v._o 14._o and_o of_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 15._o and_o so_o threaten_a death_n also_o to_o the_o transgressor_n of_o it_o in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o same_o v._o 15._o a_o four_o reason_n may_v be_v this_o that_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v make_v a_o sign_n of_o sanctification_n or_o redemption_n by_o christ_n as_o they_o say_v but_o the_o sabbath_n in_o v._o 15.16.17_o be_v keep_v in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o be_v a_o sign_n of_o creation_n to_o remember_v that_o in_o 6_o day_n the_o lord_n make_v beaven_n and_o earth_n and_o rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o v._o 17._o now_o these_o diverse_a sign_n do_v intimate_v that_o here_o may_v be_v diverse_a sabbath_n speak_v of_o in_o these_o verse_n for_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n may_v be_v apply_v to_o the_o one_o kind_n and_o creation_n to_o the_o other_o kind_n of_o sabbath_n for_o it_o be_v nothing_o probable_a that_o redemption_n and_o creation_n shall_v be_v both_o apply_v unto_o one_o kind_n only_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o liklihod_n there_o be_v that_o the_o sabbath_n mention_v in_o v._o 13._o upon_o which_o they_o ground_n all_o their_o argument_n be_v not_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v our_o question_n but_o that_o they_o be_v the_o yearly_a sabbath_n which_o never_o come_v into_o the_o moral_a law_n and_o about_o which_o we_o make_v no_o question_n at_o all_o wherefore_o unless_o they_o can_v take_v away_o these_o answer_n and_o prove_v unto_o v._o that_o by_o the_o word_n sabbath_v in_o v._o 13._o be_v mean_v the_o weekly_a 7._o day_n sabbath_n they_o be_v beside_o the_o question_n all_o their_o labour_n have_v be_v in_o vain_a and_o all_o be_v grant_v they_o which_o this_o text_n can_v afford_v they_o it_o will_v make_v only_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n but_o nothing_o for_o the_o abolish_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o suppose_v it_o grant_v that_o the_o yearly_a sabbath_n in_o v._o 13.14_o be_v sign_n of_o sanctification_n and_o redemption_n by_o christ_n and_o therefore_o abolish_v yet_o it_o will_v not_o follow_v that_o the_o weekly_a sabbath_n
the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a rest_n the_o other_o be_v the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a time_n to_o wit_n the_o seven_o day_n now_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n they_o hold_v the_o time_n a_o ceremony_n and_o abolish_v but_o the_o duty_n of_o a_o holy_a rest_n this_o they_o hold_v moral_a and_o this_o they_o careful_o perform_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o they_o persuade_v then selue_o well_o but_o if_o now_o i_o shall_v prove_v unto_o you_o that_o their_o performance_n of_o this_o holy_a rest_n upon_o a_o wrong_a day_n be_v not_o the_o sabbath_n duty_n nor_o the_o duty_n require_v by_o god_n in_o his_o four_o come_v than_o you_o will_v say_v with_o i_o that_o their_o abolish_n of_o the_o time_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o abolish_n of_o the_o four_o come_v also_o for_o there_o be_v but_o ij_o thing_n inyon_v in_o the_o com._n &_o they_o deny_v the_o one_o express_o and_o the_o other_o by_o just_a consequence_n for_o this_o purpose_n note_n that_o the_o like_a be_v not_o the_o same_o for_o example_n a_o counterfeit_n be_v like_o a_o current_a shilling_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o current_a shilling_n saul_n sacrifice_v be_v like_a to_o samuel_n sacrifice_v but_o not_o the_o

day_n rest_n and_o why_o may_v we_o not_o call_v saul_n sacrifice_v samuel_n sacrifice_v the_o lord_n day_n rest_v therefore_o be_v not_o the_o sabbath_n day_n rest_v the_o other_o way_n whereby_o

sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o exod._n 20.11_o see_v it_o also_o genes_n 2.3_o so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o so_o then_o this_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v a_o bless_a and_o a_o sanctify_a day_n look_v what_o god_n have_v bless_v it_o shall_v be_v bless_v and_o what_o god_n have_v sanctify_v it_o must_v be_v holy_a the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o be_v a_o holy_a time_n a_o holy_a day_n thus_o musculus_fw-la fol._n 62._o god_n may_v say_v he_o have_v command_v only_o the_o act_n and_o do_n of_o the_o day_n but_o to_o set_v out_o the_o matter_n more_o pithy_o he_o say_v remember_v that_o thou_o sanctify_v the_o day_n of_o the_o sabbath_n he_o charge_v that_o the_o day_n itself_o shall_v be_v repute_v holy_a where_o musculus_fw-la do_v not_o only_o affirm_v that_o the_o time_n and_o day_n be_v as_o well_o command_v as_o those_o duty_n in_o the_o day_n of_o rest_n and_o holy_a exercise_n but_o also_o say_v that_o the_o day_n itself_o be_v a_o holy_a day_n neither_o be_v this_o day_n holy_a by_o any_o man_n hallow_a or_o sanctify_v of_o it_o but_o by_o the_o proper_a work_n of_o god_n himself_o for_o say_v these_o text_n the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o sanctify_v it_o and_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o hereby_o we_o see_v how_o god_n have_v choose_v out_o the_o saturday_n for_o a_o holy_a day_n above_o all_o day_n of_o the_o week_n and_o god_n have_v make_v it_o a_o holy_a day_n he_o have_v thereby_o put_v as_o much_o difference_n betwixt_o it_o &_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n as_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v betwixt_o a_o priest_n &_o a_o common_a man_n the_o temple_n &_o their_o common_a house_n &_o as_o be_v now_o betwixt_o sacramental_a bread_n &_o

58.13_o and_o my_o holy_a day_n isa_n 58.13_o and_o my_o sabbath_n isa_n 56.4_o how_o mean_o soever_o time_n now_o count_v of_o this_o day_n yet_o you_o see_v by_o these_o name_n and_o epithet_n how_o god_n esteem_v of_o it_o i_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n considerable_a which_o be_v the_o reason_n which_o move_v god_n to_o hallow_v this_o seven_o day_n saturday_n sabbath_n the_o reason_n then_o why_o god_n sanctify_v this_o day_n it_o be_v because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o this_o day_n from_o his_o great_a &_o miraculouse_a work_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n see_v this_o most_o evident_o genes_n 2.3_o so_o god_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n you_o see_v one_o reason_n then_o of_o the_o sabbath_n institution_n &_o consecration_n thus_o a_o kingdom_n do_v solemnize_v the_o coronation_n day_n because_o on_o that_o day_n the_o king_n come_v to_o his_o crown_n man_n keep_v their_o birth_n day_n and_o marriage_n day_n because_o on_o those_o day_n they_o be_v bear_v &_o marry_v those_o jew_n ester_n 9_o keep_v the_o day_n of_o purim_n because_o of_o their_o deliverance_n from_o hamans_n conspiracy_n i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o use_n of_o these_o two_o point_n and_o first_o be_v it_o so_o that_o therefore_o god_n sanctify_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n because_o that_o in_o it_o he_o have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n why_o then_o say_v some_o man_n it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o give_v god_n for_o a_o sabbath_n so_o be_v we_o give_v he_o one_o &_o c_o here_o be_v a_o reason_n you_o see_v move_v god_n to_o set_v apart_o saturday_n rather_o than_o sunday_n or_o any_o other_o day_n to_o wit_n because_o he_o have_v rest_v on_o that_o day_n and_o have_v god_n a_o reason_n move_v he_o to_o make_v a_o choice_n of_o day_n then_o &_o be_v there_o no_o reason_n at_o all_o now_o but_o one_o day_n may_v be_v as_o meet_v as_o a_o other_o have_v length_n of_o time_n wear_v this_o reason_n out_o of_o use_n will_v any_o say_v it_o matter_n not_o which_o day_n we_o keep_v for_o coronation_n day_n birth_n day_n or_o marriage_n day_n for_o christ_n passion_n day_n resurrection_n day_n or_o ascension_n day_n be_v there_o not_o some_o reason_n even_o in_o thes_n for_o one_o day_n above_o all_o other_o even_o so_o be_v there_o not_o a_o reason_n why_o the_o seven_o day_n shall_v be_v solemnize_v &_o rest_v on_o above_o all_o other_o since_o that_o god_n solemnize_v it_o &_o rest_v on_o it_o and_o do_v therefore_o bless_v it_o &_o sanctify_v it_o because_o himself_o have_v rest_v in_o it_o i_o desire_v this_o may_v be_v observe_v by_o such_o as_o expound_v the_o come_v to_o be_v mean_v of_o one_o of_o seven_o that_o be_v of_o one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o or_o of_o some_o one_o day_n of_o the_o 7_o or_o other_o as_o if_o god_n have_v make_v no_o choice_n or_o difference_n of_o day_n &_o as_o if_o god_n have_v as_o well_o sanctify_a sunday_n monday_n tewsday_n etc._n etc._n and_o make_v they_o holy_a day_n as_o saturday_n his_o sacred_a day_n there_o be_v beside_o other_o these_o reason_n why_o we_o shall_v celebrate_v this_o day_n rather_o than_o any_o other_o 1._o because_o on_o this_o day_n god_n rest_v and_o not_o on_o any_o of_o the_o other_o 6_o day_n &_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n 2._o god_n hallow_v and_o sanctify_v this_o day_n &_o so_o he_o do_v not_o honour_v any_o other_o of_o the_o six_o day_n but_o appoint_v they_o for_o work_v 3._o god_n have_v special_a reason_n to_o sanctify_v this_o day_n because_o himself_o have_v rest_v on_o it_o but_o he_o have_v no_o reason_n so_o to_o sanctify_v any_o of_o the_o six_o day_n for_o he_o rest_v not_o on_o those_o but_o wrought_v on_o they_o 4._o god_n command_v this_o day_n in_o special_a to_o be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o four_o
comm_n which_o be_v reason_n enough_o for_o we_o to_o put_v a_o difference_n of_o day_n if_o we_o have_v none_o other_o we_o see_v then_o it_o be_v a_o frivolouse_a objection_n to_o say_v the_o least_o of_o it_o for_o man_n to_o say_v it_o matter_n not_o so_o much_o which_o day_n we_o give_v god_n for_o his_o sabbath_n so_o be_v he_o have_v one_o god_n be_v in_o love_n with_o his_o own_o choice_n no_o day_n can_v so_o please_v he_o as_o his_o own_o choose_a day_n the_o jew_n may_v as_o well_o have_v say_v so_o be_v we_o offer_v sacrifice_n in_o a_o house_n &_o by_o a_o man_n it_o matter_n not_o which_o house_n nor_o what_o man_n yet_o god_n have_v choose_v his_o temple_n before_o all_o house_n &_o his_o priest_n above_o all_o man_n therefore_o they_o dare_v not_o alter_v god_n choice_n may_v not_o we_o as_o well_o say_v now_o it_o matter_n not_o so_o much_o what_o man_n minister_v the_o sacrament_n so_o be_v a_o man_n do_v it_o nor_o what_o we_o drink_v at_o the_o lord_n

which_o this_o reason_n of_o the_o sabbath_n institution_n mention_v in_o the_o four_o come_v do_v proper_o belong_v it_o can_v be_v say_v of_o any_o of_o the_o other_o 6_o day_n sunday_n monday_n tuesday_n wednesday_n thursday_n or_o friday_n that_o god_n bless_a or_o sanctify_v any_o of_o they_o because_o he_o have_v rest_v on_o they_o if_o therefore_o we_o choose_v any_o of_o these_o 6_o day_n 1._o we_o keep_v a_o day_n which_o god_n do_v not_o bless_v nor_o sanctify_v for_o that_o end_n 2._o we_o defeat_v &_o disappoint_v god_n of_o his_o main_a reason_n &_o end_n which_o move_v he_o to_o ordain_v &_o command_v the_o sabbath_n to_o bless_v it_o and_o to_o sanctify_v it_o for_o because_o god_n have_v rest_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n which_o be_v saturday_n therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o seven_o day_n &_o hallow_v it_o genes_n 2.2.3_o i_o pray_v let_v this_o point_n be_v well_o observe_v for_o it_o be_v of_o great_a consequence_n use_v 2._o be_v it_o so_o that_o god_n

to_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o come_v on_o this_o manner_n 1._o on_o the_o seven_o day_n thou_o shall_v rest_v from_o thy_o labour_n because_o i_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n rest_v

sabbath_n day_n no_o they_o do_v as_o you_o see_v prove_v distinguish_v between_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o be_v the_o one_o the_o day_n after_o the_o other_o nay_o they_o

you_o meet_v with_o the_o name_n sabbath_n day_n as_o in_o isai_n 58.13_o nehem._n 13.18_o act._n 13.14.42.44_o act._n 16.13_o act._n 17.2_o and_o act._n 18.4_o you_o must_v understand_v it_o of_o

for_o they_o make_v no_o difference_n betwixt_o sabbath_n day_n and_o lord_n day_n but_o take_v they_o for_o the_o same_o when_o as_o sabbath_n day_n be_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o lord_n day_n be_v on_o the_o 8_o day_n hence_o be_v their_o error_n that_o when_o they_o read_v any_o of_o those_o forementioned_a scripture_n they_o apply_v they_o to_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o if_o in_o esaias_n and_o in_o nehemiahs_n time_n the_o lord_n day_n have_v be_v then_o in_o use_n for_o a_o sabbath_n what_o a_o monstrouse_a error_n be_v this_o again_o when_o they_o read_v the_o four_o come_v exod._n 20.8_o which_o speak_v of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n they_o here_o again_o ignorant_o understand_v by_o sabbath_n day_n the_o lord_n day_n and_o yet_o that_o be_v on_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o

evangelist_n after_o christ_n resurrection_n call_v the_o day_n before_o our_o sunday_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o be_v saturday_n the_o sabbath_n day_n wherefore_o if_o here_o after_o your_o minister_n will_v misapply_v the_o four_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n day_n believe_v they_o not_o for_o you_o see_v all_o the_o 4_o evangelist_n call_v saturday_n the_o sabbath_n day_n

to_o be_v note_v because_o such_o a_o mistake_n of_o one_o day_n for_o a_o other_o in_o a_o bond_n may_v forfeit_v your_o bond_n as_o in_o case_n through_o a_o mistake_n you_o carry_v your_o money_n in_o the_o 8_o day_n of_o the_o month_n when_o it_o be_v due_a on_o the_o seven_o day_n of_o the_o month_n now_o the_o four_o come_v be_v a_o bond_n wherein_o man_n stand_v bind_v unto_o god_n to_o

which_o yet_o can_v never_o as_o you_o have_v see_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o other_o be_v whither_o any_o one_o sunday_n first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n be_v a_o

that_o fable_n of_o the_o fire_n in_o purgatory_n as_o can_v be_v say_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n touch_v the_o former_a question_n that_o every_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n constant_o if_o they_o can_v prove_v this_o constancy_n that_o every_o sunday_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o we_o be_v not_o

of_o this_o text_n be_v but_o to_o prove_v one_o day_n a_o sabbath_n day_n and_o namely_o that_o one_o day_n which_o be_v call_v lord_n day_n in_o this_o text_n if_o it_o can_v be_v certain_o find_v

be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o christ_n in_o the_o next_o place_n if_o you_o demand_v of_o they_o where_o christ_n leave_v any_o commandment_n for_o it_o by_o himself_o or_o by_o his_o apostle_n here_o they_o be_v at_o a_o non_fw-la plus_fw-la they_o can_v find_v no_o come_v for_o it_o in_o all_o the_o new_a testament_n no_o nor_o any_o exhortation_n to_o keep_v it_o nor_o promise_v or_o threaten_v to_o those_o who_o keep_v or_o profane_v it_o now_o this_o at_o the_o first_o entrance_n do_v breed_v a_o shrewd_a suspicion_n that_o this_o new_a

than_o i_o then_o be_v your_o lord_n day_n but_o a_o indifferent_a thing_n and_o at_o the_o liberty_n of_o the_o church_n as_o baptism_n of_o infant_n be_v this_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o what_o be_v not_o command_v nor_o forbid_v that_o be_v indifferent_a so_o then_o as_o the_o church_n may_v baptise_v one_o soon_o or_o late_a so_o the_o church_n may_v keep_v your_o lord_n day_n and_o they_o may_v refuse_v to_o keep_v it_o if_o they_o please_v and_o this_o be_v the_o high_a pitch_n of_o honour_n that_o you_o can_v raise_v your_o lord_n day_n to_o that_o it_o be_v a_o indifferent_a thing_n

my_o first_o answer_n 2._o i_o answer_v whereas_o the_o patroness_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o paul_n sermon_n and_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v action_n perform_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n this_o i_o deny_v they_o &_o this_o they_o must_v prove_v for_o it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o both_o the_o sermon_n and_o the_o lord_n

meet_v on_o the_o lord_n day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n but_o it_o follow_v not_o thence_o that_o therefore_o paul_n preach_v &_o administer_v the_o lord_n supper_n on_o this_o first_o day_n wherein_o they_o assemble_v that_o this_o be_v no_o paradox_n you_o shall_v see_v the_o text_n give_v i_o light_a unto_o this_o answer_n as_o for_o paul_n sermon_n that_o this_o be_v perform_v in_o the_o night_n time_n after_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v pass_v see_v the_o text_n which_o say_v there_o be_v many_o light_n in_o a_o upper_a chamber_n where_o they_o be_v assemble_v v._o 8._o

that_o be_v to_o receive_v the_o lord_n supper_n now_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o evening_n or_o night_n work_n in_o those_o day_n as_o have_v be_v prove_v it_o be_v to_o be_v

i_o confess_v we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o render_v a_o reason_n why_o christ_n supper_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n supper_n because_o we_o have_v a_o word_n of_o institution_n add_v to_o the_o name_n declare_v its_o nature_n use_v and_o end_n as_o 1._o cor._n 11.20_o 23.24.25_o but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o day_n call_v the_o lord_n day_n revel_v 1.10_o you_o have_v nothing_o but_o its_o

be_v as_o say_v m._n perkins_n before_o quote_v but_o supposition_n probability_n &_o likelihood_n some_o argue_v thus_o that_o which_o in_o scripture_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v to_o be_v consecrate_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o his_o worship_n i_o answer_v as_o well_o may_v they_o thus_o argue_v &_o conclude_v that_o because_o the_o earth_n be_v call_v the_o lord_n it_o must_v

the_o lord_n must_v rest_v from_o work_n and_o only_a worship_n god_n some_o minister_n argue_v thus_o that_o this_o day_n be_v call_v lord_n day_n by_o way_n of_o excellency_n as_o excel_v all_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n &_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n for_o sabbath_n day_n excel_v all_o other_o day_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o every_o excellency_n of_o a_o day_n make_v not_o that_o day_n a_o sibbath_n day_n unless_o it_o excel_v as_o a_o sabbath_n day_n for_o example_n good_a friday_n &_o so_o every_o friday_n since_o do_v excel_v all_o other_o day_n of_o the_o week_n in_o this_o regard_n that_o on_o it_o christ_n suffer_v his_o bitter_a passion_n for_o we_o &_o yet_o be_v not_o every_o friday_n since_o a_o sabbath_n day_n hallow_v thursday_n

all_o other_o in_o this_o that_o on_o it_o christ_n rise_v &_o yet_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n day_n ere_o the_o more_o for_o this_o excellency_n as_o the_o minister_n excel_v all_o other_o man_n for_o a_o minister_n &_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o therefore_o a_o magistrate_n so_o the_o lord_n day_n may_v excel_v all_o other_o day_n for_o a_o resurrection_n day_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v not_o therefore_o a_o sabbath_n or_o rest_a day_n loe_o with_o what_o idle_a stuff_n they_o fill_v people_n head_n withal_o to_o bolster_v out_o their_o fancy_n other_o there_o be_v who_o think_v their_o bare_a name_n of_o the_o day_n lord_n
day_n be_v argument_n sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o man_n &_o to_o prove_v that_o the_o lord_n day_n must_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n so_o strong_a they_o be_v in_o conceit_n &_o so_o weak_a in_o

a_o lord_n day_n &_o not_o a_o sabbath_n day_n because_o s._n john_n call_v it_o but_o lord_n day_n not_o sabbath_n day_n their_o last_o upshot_n which_o be_v a_o note_n that_o they_o be_v at_o

in_o it_o extraordenary_a doubtless_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a something_o in_o it_o there_o be_v &_o something_o extraordenary_a too_o as_o namely_o it_o be_v call_v lord_n day_n because_o on_o it_o christ_n rise_v from_o the_o dead_a &_o so_o he_o do_v not_o upon_o any_o other_o day_n but_o if_o any_o thing_n they_o will_v have_v more_o than_o this_o let_v they_o show_v we_o

they_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o poor_a hold_n they_o have_v for_o this_o new_a sabbath_n from_o this_o text_n revel_v 1.10_o full_a little_a do_v s._n john_n think_v when_o he_o write_v this_o

conclude_v since_o they_o will_v be_v so_o confident_a as_o to_o collect_v a_o necessary_a institution_n from_o a_o bare_a nomination_n i_o desire_v they_o first_o to_o prove_v it_o that_o this_o

all_o the_o 4_o evangelist_n name_v it_o by_o the_o old_a name_n the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n only_o and_o so_o do_v s._n paul_n act._n 20.7_o it_o may_v therefore_o be_v so_o name_v first_o

then_o much_o more_o ought_v we_o christianes_n to_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n the_o reason_n hereof_o they_o say_v be_v this_o because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n i_o answer_v first_o to_o their_o argument_n &_o herein_o they_o have_v alter_v the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n by_o put_v in_o the_o

then_o they_o may_v save_v themselves_o the_o labour_n of_o prove_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o must_v keep_v it_o for_o we_o be_v not_o unwilling_a to_o keep_v it_o if_o once_o it_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o sabbath_n this_o be_v but_o a_o piece_n of_o their_o sophistry_n to_o prove_v one_o thing_n when_o they_o shall_v prove_v a_o other_o behold_v what_o difference_n there_o be_v betwixt_o these_o ij_o sabbath_n and_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o jew_n &_o our_o practice_n for_o there_o be_v
a_o express_a commandment_n to_o the_o jew_n to_o keep_v that_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n but_o there_o can_v be_v no_o commandment_n show_v we_o from_o christ_n or_o his_o

sabbath_n for_o there_o be_v not_o the_o like_a reason_n this_o sophistry_n every_o man_n may_v see_v i_o come_v now_o to_o their_o reason_n they_o say_v the_o redemption_n be_v great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v to_o know_v whither_o it_o be_v great_a or_o not_o will_v cost_v more_o labour_n than_o this_o their_o reason_n be_v worth_a wherefore_o for_o argument_n

will_v be_v that_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o the_o elect_a unto_o the_o redeem_a and_o to_o those_o only_o which_o have_v faith_n well_o then_o the_o redemption_n be_v neither_o great_a nor_o great_a nor_o any_o thing_n at_o all_o to_o those_o which_o be_v not_o elect_v not_o redeem_v and_o which_o live_v &_o die_v without_o faith_n of_o these_o ij_o sort_n of_o

that_o we_o christian_n that_o be_v all_o we_o christian_n even_o every_o one_o within_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n that_o be_v baptize_v all_o these_o aught_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n when_o as_o the_o one_o half_a of_o these_o be_v not_o redeem_v and_o their_o reason_n to_o bind_v all_o &_o every_o man_n thus_o to_o keep_v a_o remembrance_n of_o this_o redemption_n be_v because_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n be_v great_a unto_o some_o only_o of_o these_o man_n how_o absurd_a be_v this_o that_o every_o man_n shall_v be_v bind_v to_o keep_v a_o joyful_a memory_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o do_v belong_v but_o unto_o some_o of_o they_o only_o as_o not_o to_o the_o one_o half_a of_o they_o this_o be_v as_o if_o

and_o such_o as_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n wherefore_o they_o can_v press_v this_o their_o new_a sabbath_n of_o lord_n day_n by_o this_o their_o reason_n upon_o any_o but_o upon_o such_o as_o they_o see_v by_o their_o fruit_n do_v already_o believe_v such_o as_o do_v not_o yet_o believe_v which_o common_o be_v the_o great_a number_n these_o be_v not_o tie_v unto_o the_o keep_n of_o this_o

the_o great_a number_n of_o our_o city_n town_n &_o parish_n these_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o keep_v it_o this_o their_o reason_n therefore_o do_v bewray_v the_o idleness_n of_o the_o cause_n for_o we_o must_v have_v such_o a_o sabbath_n as_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o do_v belong_v unto_o all_o and_o to_o every_o man_n none_o except_v and_o such_o be_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n which_o be_v to_o be_v

so_o with_o the_o sunday_n sabbath_n for_o a_o few_o only_o have_v reason_n to_o keep_v it_o yet_o further_o to_o discover_v the_o vanity_n of_o this_o argument_n since_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o remembrance_n of_o the_o redemption_n i_o demand_v of_o they_o how_o often_o they_o will_v have_v we_o keep_v a_o sabbaah_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o repemption_n once_o every_o seven_o day_n oft_o or_o seldomer_n they_o will_v answer_v once_o every_o seven_o day_n why_o say_v i_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o savour_v of_o judaisme_n to_o observe_v a_o seven_o day_n this_o they_o have_v learn_v from_o the_o jewish_a sabbath_n wherefore_o since_o they_o do_v so_o abhor_v judaisme_n &_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n why_o do_v they_o imitate_v the_o jew_n herein_o and_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n by_o choose_v a_o seven_o day_n the_o seven_o day_n be_v in_o imitation_n of_o god_n rest_n on_o the_o seven_o day_n and_o in_o memory_n of_o the_o world_n creation_n finish_v at_o the_o seven_o day_n but_o we_o be_v christian_n and_o as_o they_o say_v all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a old_a thing_n be_v pass_v away_o well_o then_o we_o must_v now_o imitate_v christ_n the_o redeemer_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v god_n the_o creator_n and_o we_o must_v fetch_v light_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n to_o know_v how_o often_o to_o keep_v our_o new_a sabbath_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v by_o god_n direction_n from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n if_o then_o we_o must_v imitate_v christ_n the_o redeemer_n as_o do_v the_o jew_n god_n the_o creator_n then_o must_v we_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o upon_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o so_o do_v christ_n himself_o 2._o if_o we_o must_v fetch_v light_a how_o often_o to_o keep_v our_o new_a sabbath_n from_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n do_v from_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n then_o must_v we_o since_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a take_v up_o a_o new_a account_n of_o time_n also_o we_o must_v no_o long_o regard_v a_o seven_o day_n but_o now_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o three_o day_n for_o as_o god_n be_v six_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o creation_n &_o rest_v the_o seven_o so_o christ_n be_v three_o day_n in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n &_o rose_n &_o rest_v the_o three_o day_n on_o good_a friday_n he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n on_o saturday_n &_o on_o a_o part_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n he_o lay_v in_o the_o grave_n so_o you_o see_v the_o work_n of_o redemption_n cost_n christ_n 3_o day_n work_n wherefore_o if_o they_o will_v imitate_v christ_n they_o must_v keep_v every_o three_o day_n for_o a_o lord_n day_n &_o for_o a_o new_a sabbath_n &_o so_o they_o shall_v keep_v two_o sabbath_n in_o a_o week_n or_o thereabouts_o &_o if_o they_o do_v not_o thus_o they_o may_v talk_v what_o they_o will_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v become_v new_a &_o that_o as_o the_o jew_n keep_v a_o sabbath_n in_o imitation_n of_o god_n at_o the_o creation_n so_o we_o in_o imitation_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o redemption_n but_o where_o be_v their_o imitation_n of_o christ_n do_v they_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o &_o follow_v their_o calling_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n as_o christ_n do_v &_o do_v they_o keep_v every_o three_o day_n a_o lord_n day_n and_o sabbath_n day_n as_o christ_n rise_v upon_o the_o three_o day_n no_o such_o matter_n furthermore_o whereas_o they_o suppose_v that_o we_o have_v as_o great_a need_n of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v a_o memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n as_o the_o jew_n have_v of_o a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o

they_o have_v no_o other_o help_n but_o for_o we_o &_o for_o the_o redemption_n we_o have_v two_o sacrament_n baptism_n &_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o keep_v in_o memory_n the_o redemption_n &_o these_o be_v help_n enough_o so_o as_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o sabbath_n day_n also_o for_o the_o same_o end_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o so_o hereby_o then_o the_o redemption_n shall_v be_v keep_v in_o memory_n all_o though_o we_o have_v no_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n at_o all_o there_o be_v need_n therefore_o to_o have_v a_o sabbath_n to_o keep_v memory_n of_o the_o creation_n when_o there_o be_v no_o need_n to_o have_v one_o to_o keep_v memory_n of_o the_o redemption_n they_o have_v also_o a_o
other_o argument_n as_o vain_a as_o this_o past_a thus_o if_o god_n institute_v a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o the_o creation_n than_o so_o do_v christ_n institute_v a_o sabbath_n in_o memory_n of_o

to_o keep_v it_o though_o this_o argument_n of_o authority_n be_v want_v 2._o i_o answer_v if_o this_o lord_n day_n have_v no_o high_a authority_n then_o from_o the_o magistrate_n then_o do_v it_o

among_o indifferent_a thing_n where_o of_o the_o magistrate_n may_v proper_o make_v law_n yea_o whereas_o the_o magistrate_n now_o command_v the_o lord_n day_n to_o be_v keep_v if_o it_o have_v no_o high_a authority_n then_o of_o the_o magistrate_n than_o he_o may_v alter_v the_o solemnity_n of_o the_o day_n from_o sunday_n to_o moonday_n to_o tuesday_n or_o to_o any_o other_o day_n of_o the_o

the_o four_o come_v but_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o 5_o com._n for_o it_o be_v the_o 5_o com._n that_o injoin_v obedience_n to_o our_o superioure_n wherefore_o then_o must_v minister_n no_o more_o

light_v upon_o man_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n unto_o their_o contempt_n of_o god_n ordinance_n of_o preach_v and_o prayer_n perform_v in_o that_o day_n it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v think_v that_o god_n

therein_o their_o body_n be_v exceed_o refresh_v and_o comfort_v for_o look_v as_o the_o bed_n at_o night_n be_v a_o great_a refreshment_n unto_o man_n that_o have_v be_v occupy_v all_o the_o day_n before_o in_o his_o painful_a call_n so_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n a_o sweet_a refreshment_n unto_o man_n after_o that_o they_o have_v be_v exercise_v six_o day_n one_o after_o a_o other_o in_o continual_a labour_n the_o truth_n of_o this_o point_n every_o man_n find_v by_o good_a experience_n we_o have_v a_o proverb_n that_o man_n must_v work_v to_o day_n as_o they_o may_v work_v too_o

body_n with_o continual_a labour_n in_o one_o week_n as_o that_o they_o shall_v be_v unfit_a to_o labour_v a_o other_o week_n now_o common_a reason_n teach_v that_o man_n body_n can_v endure_v

in_o from_o labour_n &_o therefore_o it_o be_v meet_v that_o some_o one_o day_n in_o a_o week_n be_v set_v a_o part_n for_o rest_n that_o so_o a_o man_n may_v so_o work_v one_o week_n as_o he_o may_v work_v a_o other_o also_o it_o be_v a_o point_n of_o wisdom_n also_o for_o man_n so_o to_o follow_v their_o work_n as_o they_o may_v go_v on_o &_o continue_v with_o they_o &_o not_o like_o unskilful_a rider_n who_o ride_v gallop_v upon_o the_o spur_n in_o the_o forenoon_n so_o as_o their_o tire_a horse_n can_v go_v in_o the_o after_o noon_n wherefore_o if_o man_n do_v but_o regard_v their_o own_o body_n it_o be_v meet_v they_o shall_v set_v a_o part_n a_o day_n to_o sabbathize_v in_o and_o rest_n from_o their_o labour_n but_o suppose_v we_o that_o some_o man_n body_n be_v of_o any_o oaky_a

unto_o god_n last_o all_o protestant_n do_v allow_v and_o approve_v of_o one_o day_n in_o seven_o as_o fit_a to_o rest_v in_o from_o labour_n and_o to_o worship_n god_n public_o so_o here_o be_v a_o

judaisme_n as_o those_o of_o the_o laodicean_n counsel_n think_v it_o who_o live_v 200_o year_n after_o ignatius_n and_o as_o many_o of_o we_o now_o a_o day_n judge_v it_o to_o be_v he_o will_v never_o have_v exhort_v and_o persuade_v christianes_n to_o the_o observation_n of_o it_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o so_o long_o as_o the_o church_n be_v in_o its_o great_a purity_n and_o perfection_n so_o long_o it_o retain_v in_o honour_n the_o lord_n sabbath_n for_o ignatius_n live_v so_o near_o unto_o the_o time_n of_o the_o apostle_n he_o live_v in_o the_o most_o flourish_a estate_n of_o the_o church_n for_o purity_n and_o even_o in_o these_o so_o pure_a time_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o so_o continue_v until_o the_o church_n begin_v to_o decline_v which_o be_v 200_o year_n after_o this_o time_n about_o which_o time_n they_o begin_v to_o corrupt_v the_o second_o command_n &_o what_o marvel_v if_o they_o then_o also_o make_v havoc_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n too_o but_o this_o i_o say_v so_o long_o as_o the_o primitive_a church_n remain_v in_o their_o great_a purity_n so_o long_a christian_n retain_v the_o lord_n sabbath_n in_o honour_n &_o use_v &_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o second_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n so_o hitherto_o we_o have_v prove_v these_o two_o thing_n the_o former_a that_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n do_v constant_o observe_v the_o sabbath_n day_n in_o their_o time_n the_o other_o that_o the_o most_o pure_a &_o primitive_a church_n which_o follow_v the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n so_o long_o as_o they_o keep_v their_o purity_n which_o be_v 300_o or_o 400_o year_n after_o christ_n &_o now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o the_o three_o &_o last_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_a or_o second_o proposition_n which_o i_o be_o to_o prove_v be_v that_o our_o church_n do_v daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o sabbath_n day_n i_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o point_n for_o our_o daily_a prayer_n to_o god_n every_o sunday_n or_o lord_n day_n in_o the_o congregation_n will_v confirm_v it_o for_o the_o minister_n as_o it_o be_v order_v by_o our_o church_n in_o the_o book_n of_o common_a prayer_n rehearse_v to_o the_o whole_a assembly_n the_o 10._o commandment_n of_o almighty_a god_n &_o among_o the_o rest_n he_o repeat_v the_o four_o com._n say_v remember_v the_o sahbath_n day_n to_o keep_v it_o holy_a etc._n etc._n but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n thy_o god_n in_o it_o thou_o shall_v not_o do_v any_o work_n etc._n etc._n for_o the_o lord_n rest_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n bless_v the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o hallow_v it_o now_o as_o soon_o as_o this_o commandment_n touch_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n be_v rehearse_v in_o the_o audience_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v by_o our_o church_n order_v that_o the_o whole_a congregation_n shall_v hereunto_o subjoine_v this_o devout_a prayer_n lord_n have_v mercy_n on_o we_o and_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v this_o law_n and_o thus_o you_o see_v that_o our_o church_n do_v ratify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n by_o pray_v daily_o to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o but_o happy_o some_o may_v say_v our_o church_n do_v not_o intend_v by_o this_o her_o prayer_n to_o ratify_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n which_o be_v the_o jew_n sabbath_n hereunto_o i_o reply_v that_o by_o this_o her_o prayer_n she_o must_v be_v understod_a to_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n either_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n or_o to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n sabbath_n now_o strong_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o the_o reverend_a bishope_n of_o our_o church_n will_v not_o say_v that_o the_o four_o come_v do_v command_v we_o to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n &_o therefore_o when_o we_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o the_o keep_n of_o the_o four_o come_v we_o can_v understand_v our_o prayer_n to_o be_v mean_v of_o the_o lord_n day_n for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o day_n call_v lord_n day_n which_o the_o four_o com._n injoin_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n as_o you_o see_v in_o the_o commandment_n and_o it_o be_v not_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o minister_n pronounce_v in_o read_v the_o four_o come_v but_o it_o be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n which_o he_o speak_v of_o neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o four_o come_v speak_v of_o but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n and_o last_o day_n of_o the_o week_n which_o the_o commandment_n mention_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o 8_o day_n or_o first_o day_n of_o the_o week_n or_o lord_n day_n where_o in_o god_n rest_v at_o the_o creation_n but_o it_o be_v the_o seven_o day_n wherein_o god_n rest_v as_o the_o commandment_n say_v neither_o be_v it_o the_o lord_n day_n which_o the_o commandment_n say_v god_n bless_v and_o hallow_v but_o it_o be_v the_o day_n call_v sabbath_n day_n which_o god_n bless_a and_o hallow_a as_o the_o four_o commandment_n speak_v wherefore_o when_o the_o minister_n say_v remember_v to_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n day_n if_o then_o we_o shall_v pray_v thus_o lord_n incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n do_v we_o not_o so_o make_v answer_n as_o sometime_o deaf_a man_n do_v who_o when_o a_o man_n cale_v for_o a_o knife_n they_o bring_v he_o the_o sheath_n &_o when_o the_o minister_n tell_v the_o people_n which_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n day_n say_v but_o the_o seven_o day_n be_v the_o sabbath_n of_o the_o lord_n if_o then_o we_o shall_v pray_v thus_o lord_n incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o 8_o day_n be_v we_o not_o then_o like_o those_o that_o come_v to_o church_n when_o the_o sermon_n be_v do_v &_o that_o go_v to_o sell_v comodity_n the_o day_n after_o the_o fair_a yea_o be_v not_o this_o to_o babble_n with_o god_n and_o to_o profane_v this_o holy_a ordinance_n of_o prayer_n when_o the_o prayer_n of_o the_o church_n can_v be_v take_v but_o ij_o way_n it_o be_v a_o very_a absurd_a thing_n &_o uncharitable_a for_o any_o man_n to_o expound_v they_o in_o the_o worse_a sense_n which_o be_v a_o false_a and_o absurd_a sense_n wherefore_o since_o the_o lord_n day_n can_v be_v mean_v in_o our_o public_a prayer_n therefore_o the_o sabbath_n day_n must_v be_v mean_v for_o there_o be_v none_o other_o but_o one_o of_o these_o two_o that_o can_v be_v imagine_v and_o thus_o i_o have_v prove_v the_o 3d_o branch_n of_o my_o minor_n to_o wit_n that_o our_o church_n do_v pray_v to_o god_n daily_o to_o incline_v our_o heart_n to_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o so_o these_o 3_o point_n be_v prove_v 1._o that_o the_o apostle_n keep_v the_o sabbath_n day_n 2._o that_o the_o primitive_a church_n after_o they_o keep_v it_o 3._o that_o our_o church_n daily_o pray_v to_o god_n to_o keep_v it_o wherefore_o if_o the_o constant_a practice_n of_o the_o apostle_n &_o the_o religiouse_a practice_n of_o the_o most_o ancient_a and_o primi_fw-la tive_a church_n after_o the_o apostle_n &_o the_o daily_a prayer_n of_o our_o church_n will_v any_o thing_n avail_v with_o we_o then_o must_v we_o sanctify_v the_o seven_o day_n saturday_n sabbath_n argum._n xiii_o i_o have_v think_v to_o have_v add_v no_o more_o by_o way_n of_o proof_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o further_a search_n have_v minister_v unto_o i_o more_o argument_n &_o these_o they_o be_v which_o follow_v my_o 13_o argument_n for_o confirmation_n of_o the_o seven_o sabbath_n be_v because_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n who_o keep_v the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o frame_v it_o whosoever_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o the_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n they_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n but_o we_o must_v imitate_v god_n in_o his_o keep_n of_o tho_o seven_o day_n sabbath_n therefore_o we_o must_v keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n for_o the_o mayor_n it_o be_v clear_a for_o since_o god_n keep_v the_o saturday_n seven_o day_n sabbath_n if_o we_o must_v imitate_v he_o then_o must_v we_o keep_v the_o same_o day_n in_o order_n when_o iâ—_n come_v and_o so_o do_v
because_o we_o may_v together_o with_o antinomians_n libertine_n &_o anabaptist_n as_o well_o abolish_v all_o the_o moral_a law_n by_o the_o scripture_n as_o with_o they_o abolish_v the_o saturday_n sabbath_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v if_o we_o may_v together_o with_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o saturday_n sabbath_n as_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n then_o may_v we_o with_o they_o also_o abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n even_o all_o the_o ten_o commandment_n as_o jewish_a ceremony_n but_o neither_o we_o may_v nor_o yet_o may_v those_o lawless_a christian_n of_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n abolish_v by_o the_o scripture_n the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n ten_o commandment_n as_o jewish_a ceremony_n therefore_o we_o may_v not_o together_o with_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptist_n those_o lawless_a christian_n abolish_v by_o the_o scrïpture_n the_o saturday_n sabbath_n as_o a_o jewish_a ceremony_n for_o proof_n of_o the_o consequence_n it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o those_o lawless_a christian_n of_o libertine_n antinomian_o &_o anabaptiste_n do_v reject_v the_o santification_n of_o all_o sabbath_n not_o but_o that_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n as_o a_o sabbath_n together_o with_o those_o protestant_a church_n among_o who_o they_o live_v but_o they_o keep_v it_o only_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o the_o magistrate_n and_o as_o in_o obedience_n to_o their_o governor_n yet_o so_o too_o as_o in_o case_n they_o can_v do_v any_o common_a servile_a work_n on_o the_o lord_n day_n without_o offence_n to_o any_o they_o will_v and_o do_v profess_v it_o that_o they_o will_v but_o to_o keep_v any_o sabbath_n as_o a_o divine_a institution_n and_o as_o a_o ordinance_n of_o god_n and_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n this_o they_o do_v reject_v as_o jewish_a and_o ceremonial_a and_o for_o their_o warrant_n among_o other_o text_n of_o scripture_n as_o we_o do_v so_o do_v they_o allege_v exod._n 31.13_o &_o colos_n 2.16.17_o against_o the_o saturday_n sabbath_n show_v that_o it_o be_v abolish_v as_o a_o sign_n and_o shadow_n etc._n etc._n thus_o they_o bring_v scripture_n against_o the_o old_a sabbath_n as_o well_o as_o we_o &_o the_o same_o scripture_n that_o we_o bring_v so_o then_o we_o be_v just_o rank_v with_o libertine_n antinomian_o and_o

that_o not_o only_o towards_o mankind_n in_o general_a but_o also_o unto_o mercy_n both_o unto_o man_n &_o beast_n and_o thus_o i_o argue_v that_o which_o be_v express_o command_v in_o the_o moral_a

to_o wit_n the_o 5_o november_n &_o it_o be_v absurd_a to_o think_v that_o the_o rest_n from_o work_n shall_v tend_v to_o the_o public_a praise_n of_o god_n but_o the_o day_n shall_v tend_v to_o

you_o say_v you_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n in_o place_n or_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n well_o and_o so_o do_v we_o too_o like_a as_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o

this_o we_o add_v that_o we_o keep_v it_o in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n by_o way_n of_o a_o change_n for_o the_o sabbath_n now_o here_o they_o leave_v we_o they_o will_v not_o say_v they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n sake_n for_o so_o they_o shall_v renounce_v the_o lord_n day_n and_o not_o keep_v it_o for_o itself_o sake_n albeit_o we_o keep_v the_o lord_n supper_n in_o room_n of_o the_o passeover_n yet_o we_o keep_v it_o not_o for_o the_o passeover_n sake_n but_o for_o its_o on_o own_o sake_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v advance_v the_o passeover_n above_o the_o

for_o a_o time_n in_o room_n of_o the_o sabbath_n but_o for_o the_o sabbath_n sake_n not_o for_o its_o own_o sake_n object_n four_o some_o argue_v thus_o forasmuch_o as_o those_o which_o stand_v so_o strong_o for_o the_o old_a sabbath_n do_v profane_a and_o neglect_v it_o themselves_o and_o do_v by_o this_o dispensation_n justify_v it_o as_o warrantable_a therefore_o what_o need_v we_o to_o take_v

we_o be_v in_o doubt_n of_o transgression_n of_o the_o four_o commandment_n by_o neglect_v it_o hereunto_o i_o answer_v great_a be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o our_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n and_o the_o profanation_n and_o neglect_n of_o it_o by_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o they_o may_v profane_v it_o as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o as_o safe_o for_o we_o do_v profane_v it_o in_o grief_n of_o heart_n like_v as_o david_n do_v break_v the_o law_n of_o the_o shewbread_n and_o do_v suffer_v joab_n to_o live_v and_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v use_v and_o retain_v ceremony_n among_o believer_n after_o they_o be_v abolish_v and_o as_o a_o man_n labour_v to_o quench_v a_o house_n on_o fire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n so_o as_o we_o hearty_o and_o uâ—fâ—iâ—edly_o wish_v it_o can_v be_v otherwise_o 2._o whilst_o we_o profane_v this_o day_n we_o free_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o by_o way_n of_o exchange_n as_o hezekiah_n do_v &_o hereby_o it_o appear_v that_o whilst_o we_o profane_v it_o by_o bodily_a labour_n in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n we_o do_v reverence_v it_o &_o honour_v it_o high_o in_o our_o heart_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a these_o new_a sabbatharian_o they_o do_v profane_v the_o sabbath_n without_o any_o respect_n have_v unto_o necessity_n they_o profane_v it_o

neither_o do_v they_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o they_o keep_v the_o lord_n day_n for_o itself_o only_o hate_v god_n sabbath_n and_o therefore_o vain_a be_v their_o argue_v to_o say_v they_o may_v as_o well_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n as_o we_o do_v let_v they_o know_v that_o if_o our_o neglect_n be_v a_o sin_n it_o be_v but_o a_o sin_n of_o

nay_o we_o be_v no_o sin_n for_o 1._o we_o give_v god_n a_o other_o day_n for_o it_o 2._o we_o profane_v it_o but_o in_o a_o case_n of_o necessity_n only_o as_o david_n do_v eat_v the_o shewbread_n and_o as_o man_n quench_v a_o house_n on_o sire_n on_o the_o sabbath_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a they_o be_v a_o sin_n for_o they_o profane_a god_n sabbath_n willing_o never_o respect_v any_o

because_o he_o see_v we_o to_o neglect_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o sabbath_n day_n but_o let_v he_o be_v admonish_v in_o time_n i_o dare_v assure_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v account_v of_o god_n

when_o he_o make_v it_o his_o travail_a day_n furthermore_o let_v it_o be_v observe_v that_o a_o sabbath_n be_v by_o the_o la_o to_o be_v keep_v in_o &_o with_o holy_a congregation_n &_o assembly_n levit_fw-la 23.2.3_o &_o according_o it_o be_v christ_n his_o manner_n evermore_o on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o be_v in_o the_o congregation_n among_o the_o people_n of_o god_n as_o we_o read_v luk._n 4.16_o and_o he_o come_v to_o nazareth_n and_o as_o his_o custom_n be_v go_v into_o the_o synagogue_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n &_o stand_v up_o to_o read_v etc._n etc._n so_o then_o it_o be_v a_o customary_a thing_n with_o christ_n on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o be_v teach_v in_o the_o assembly_n but_o lo_o on_o this_o lord_n day_n he_o be_v in_o the_o field_n travail_v too_o &_o fro_o &_o sometime_o he_o be_v in_o the_o company_n of_o two_o of_o his_o disciple_n and_o sometime_o all_o alone_a luk._n 24.31_o and_o he_o come_v not_o into_o the_o assembly_n of_o his_o disciple_n until_o near_o night_n joh._n 20.19_o now_o christ_n be_v the_o shepherd_n &_o minister_n where_o shall_v he_o have_v be_v but_o in_o the_o assembly_n of_o his_o disciple_n all_o that_o day_n teach_v they_o &_o preach_v unto_o they_o if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o sabbath_n day_n but_o lo_o the_o flock_n be_v scatter_v some_o of_o the_o disciple_n be_v at_o jerusalem_n other_o some_o be_v travail_v to_o emmaus_n and_o christ_n the_o pastor_n of_o the_o flock_n he_o come_v not_o among_o they_o until_o the_o evening_n but_o be_v in_o the_o field_n travail_v hither_o and_o thither_o be_v this_o

emmaus_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o sabbath_n duty_n i_o answer_v what_o do_v christ_n do_v more_o here_o than_o philip_n do_v to_o the_o eunuch_n in_o a_o travail_a day_n the_o eunuch_n ride_v in_o his_o char_a do_v not_o philip_n instruct_v he_o see_v act._n 8.27.28.35_o and_o must_v this_o day_n be_v therefore_o a_o sabbath_n day_n yea_o what_o do_v christ_n more_o hear_v to_o these_o two_o disciple_n than_o he_o do_v on_o every_o day_n of_o the_o week_n for_o 40_o day_n together_o to_o all_o the_o apostle_n together_o see_v act._n 1.3_o and_o must_v all_o these_o 40_o day_n therefore_o be_v sabbath_n and_o these_o instruction_n sabbath_n duty_n there_o be_v no_o more_o likelihood_n that_o these_o shall_v be_v sabbath_n duty_n than_o there_o be_v to_o suppose_v it_o a_o sabbath_n duty_n to_o see_v a_o man_n sit_v still_o and_o rest_v he_o for_o a_o hour_n or_o two_o on_o a_o work_a day_n especias_o if_o during_o that_o time_n he_o do_v but_o read_v a_o chapter_n in_o the_o bible_n or_o the_o like_a furthermore_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o pastor_n of_o the_o flock_n will_v spend_v his_o sabbath_n day_n in_o teach_v two_o of_o the_o sheep_n of_o the_o flock_n only_o neglect_v the_o residue_n for_o he_o come_v not_o among_o the_o whole_a flock_n assemble_v together_o until_o near_o night_n joh._n 20.19_o luk._n 24.29.33_o wherefore_o christ_n keep_v not_o this_o lord_n day_n a_o sabbath_n with_o the_o assembly_n and_o congregation_n of_o his_o disciple_n and_o can_v it_o then_o be_v think_v he_o keep_v it_o with_o two_o man_n only_o loe_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n day_n which_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n will_v have_v for_o a_o sabbath_n and_o you_o see_v christ_n the_o lord_n of_o it_o travail_v too_o &_o fro_o hither_o &_o thither_o upon_o it_o you_o see_v also_o how_o the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n travail_v out_o &_o home_n 15_o mile_n upon_o it_o yea_o and_o christ_n the_o lord_n of_o this_o new_a sabbath_n look_v on_o they_o without_o check_n nay_o which_o be_v more_o countenance_v of_o they_o therein_o for_o he_o justify_v they_o by_o his_o own_o like_a practice_n he_o travail_v along_o with_o they_o luk._n 24.15_o i_o will_v ask_v a_o question_n here_o of_o our_o new_a sabbatharian_n which_o be_v this_o may_v not_o we_o christian_n safe_o travail_v upon_o the_o lord_n day_n fitene_n or_o twenty_o mile_n more_o or_o less_o about_o the_o ordinary_a affair_n of_o our_o calling_n without_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n paul_n say_v that_o we_o shall_v follow_v
